A Country Where Someone Is Beaten to Death During Forced Conscription Is Certainly Unfit for EU Membership

Should the European Union not accept the proposal made in connection with the beating death of Jozsef Sebestyen, then “Hungary can and will act within the framework of its own possibilities,” declared Gergely Gulyas, Minister heading the Prime Minister’s Office. As has been widely reported, the Hungarian government proposed that those who participated in and bear responsibility for the man’s murder should be placed on the EU sanctions list, as Jozsef Sebestyen was a Hungarian, and therefore also a citizen of the European Union.
